{% endstep %}

{% step %}
To create a copy-trading master account, go to **B2COPY** > **Masters**.\
To create a MAM master account, go to **Mam** > **Masters**.\
To create a PAMM master account, go to **Pamm** > **Masters**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
On the **Masters** page, click **+Create**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Select the client whom you want to create a master account for, and then click **Select**.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
On the **Create Master Account** page, select one of the following options in the **Create from** dropdown:

* **New account** – to create a new account on the trading platform and then create a master account on the B2COPY investment platform using the newly created account.
* **Existing account (on Trading platform only)** – to create a master account on the B2COPY investment platform using the account that already exists on the trading platform but hasn't yet been registered via the Web UI.
* **Existing account (in Trader's room)** – to create a master account on the B2COPY investment platform using the trading account that has already been registered via the Web UI.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}
If you create the master account using an existing trading account, enter the account number in the **Account login** field.

{% hint style="info" %}
If a master account for a client was created on the **Accounts** tab that is available on the client details page, the account must be added to the B2COPY investment platform using the **Existing account (in Trader's room)** option.
{% endhint %}

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
In the **Leverage** dropdown, select a leverage ratio for the master account.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
In the **Account** **Name** field, enter a short name for the master account. This name will be displayed on the **Leaderboard** and other pages in the Web UI.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
In the **Strategy description** field, enter a trading strategy description to let potential investors know more about the trading style of the master account owner.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
To inform the client about the newly created master account by sending an email with account details, enable the **Send email** checkbox.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **Save**.
